Xiuyun opened it to take a look and found a pink peony flower made from a pile of muslin. There were a few white pearls scattered on the stamen. It looked real, and was extremely delicate.

Everyone loved beauty, so Xiuyun was no exception. "What a beautiful flower."

Youuran smiled. "Speaking of which, this was sent to us by our wife's family at the end of last year. She gave us some of it. It's said that it was passed from the palace."

"So it was something the Empress was wearing. No wonder it was so beautiful." Just as she was about to decline, Youuran said, "I'll give it to you. Don't worry, I still have some left. How could I wear this alone? It will fade if I keep it for a long time. "Come, let me put it on for you. Let aunt and the others see if it looks good."

Xiuyun took a walk around the living room wearing the peony and got a lot of praise. She turned around to thank Cousin, only to find that she had gone to the kitchen to prepare lunch. She hurried after him to do some work as well. She couldn't just let her cousin get what she wanted for free, she had to do more work.

Unfortunately, their two aunts and Mrs. Lin didn't give them the right opportunity. They only helped them to choose the dishes before being chased out. Second Aunt said, "Alright, we don't need the two of you here. It's not easy to raise them to be so white and tender. Don't be so smoky. Go back to the west room, Youuran. Take this opportunity to give your sister pointers. You don't need to take out your trump card skills. You're knowledgeable, you can teach her anything you want. "

Seeing that her aunt had already said so, Youuran had no choice but to bring Xiuyun to her own room. Mrs. Lin had once said that it was fortunate that their family had the help of two uncles in the past few years. Otherwise, with the return of the orphans and widows back then, how could they still keep such a large ancestral home and a few acres of land? During the time of his escape, if he had not lost his relationship with his uncle's family, the original owner might not have ended up selling himself as a slave. Perhaps Aunt was just speaking casually, but Youuran took it to heart.

Youuran looked at the purse that Xiuyun carried with her. Embroidery workers were rare at this age. Her embroidery workers came from the same source as Mrs. Lin, both of which were inherited from her grandmother. However, the needle technique was rather simple, so Youuran took out a piece of plain cloth and taught her cousin a few simple techniques and needlework techniques. Xiuyun learnt it very quickly. It only took her a short while to learn it. However, it took a lot of effort to master a female worker, so she could only remember it with difficulty.

One sister taught while the other studied. They chatted and laughed, getting along very well.

As the two of them were chatting, they suddenly heard the voice of a young woman in the courtyard. "Aiya, I'm late. It was all the fault of this brat. He had just changed into a new set of clothes and was about to take him out of the house. I was covered all over with them. I had just washed and hung up my clothes when I came in a hurry. "

Mrs. Lin took the fat boy that she was hugging with her left hand into her own. "Aiyo! This kid has only been gone for a few days and he's become heavier again. It's difficult for you to carry him here from such a long distance. I was just thinking of letting your second brother pick you up. "

Youuran and Xiuyun put down their work and walked out of the west room. Xiuyun shouted, "Sister Xiu Lan, you're here!" This is Cousin Youuran. "

"Greetings, Sister Xiulan." Just as Youuran was about to bow to her cousin, she was stopped by Xiu Lan. "Why are there so many empty courtesies between us sisters? I came by a few times yesterday and went home when it was dark and you didn't come back. If it wasn't for your nephew being naughty, I would have come early this morning. Speaking of which, you really changed your appearance. I remember you were dark and thin when you were young, but I didn't expect you to grow up with such a clean and white logo. This really is a change in the age of eighteen. "

"Of course not, Sister Xiulan is really good-looking. My nephew looks at her cousin, and when he grows up, he must be a handsome guy."

"Girl, your mouth is so sweet."

At this time, the first aunt held her grandson and said, "Alright, let's stop with that blabbermouth. He's already a mother, but he's still so unsteady. Seeing that your two younger sisters are both younger than you and yet their actions are both steadier than you, you shouldn't be so embarrassed. "

Xiulan quickly said, "Aiya, Mother. Sister Youuran finally came back." You have to give me some face in front of my sister, otherwise how am I supposed to be your sister? It's because of my thick skin. Otherwise, I would have been angered to tears by you. "

His first aunt was angered and laughed, "You damned brat, you are so talkative. Quickly go and help your aunt clean up the table. "You've come at the perfect time, just in time to rush the dishes."

Xiuyun chuckled, "This is called coming early is not as coincidental as coming early." Youuran and Xiuyun also rushed over to help.

Just as he put the table down, his eldest uncle's family and his aunt's family also came. Even though this aunt was almost thirty years old, she still looked gentle and graceful. The two of them standing together seemed to be a combination of a beautiful woman and a wild beast.

Youuran ridiculed in her heart as she bowed. Aunt Lin pulled Youuran up and said with red eyes, "Good child, it's good that you're back."

Eldest Aunt explained, "They all say it's his niece and sister-in-law. I think Youuran really looks like her aunt." The others took a look, didn't they? This aunt and nephew really does resemble each other by forty to fifty percent.

At this time, a girl took hold of her aunt's hand and pulled at Youuran's hand, saying, "Sister Youuran, I wonder how you grew up? You actually followed the good director of our Lin Family. Your nose and face are extremely similar to Second Aunt's. Unlike me, no matter how good my facial features are, when matched with this big nose, big face and plate, it looks a lot fatter. "

Seeing that the girl talking was about the same age as her and looked about the same as her aunt, Youuran smiled and asked: "Are you Sister Ting Ran? I've long heard my mother talk about you. "

Perhaps because they were connected by blood, the two sisters did not get along at first sight, but they got along quite well.

Since everyone was here, Mrs. Lin started the banquet. Since there were so many people, they split up and sat at a table with a man and a woman.

Mrs. Lin made the best Red Braised Meat, Eldest Aunt made a Stew Carp, in addition to radish stew, lotus root roast, cucumber scrambled eggs, green onions mixed with tofu, stir-fried rapeseed, and blended tofu sprouts. In addition to Eldest Aunt's old duck soup, duck meat pie, and her aunt's pork sauce, there was a huge table full of dishes. The children were eating until oil dripped from the corners of their mouths.

Shortly after lunch, my uncle's family prepared to leave. Their village was still more than two hours away. If they didn't hurry, they wouldn't be able to reach their home before nightfall.

Mrs. Lin didn't try to persuade her to stay either. Since her daughter had returned, there would still be more time for them to reunite in the future. She had only packed some of the heart buns that Youuran had brought back along with the vegetables from her own yard into two baskets for her two sister-in-law to bring along.

The two aunts knew that there was no shortage of vegetables in their family, so they took them.

His aunt's family stayed until it was almost dark before they headed home. Their village was closer.

In the evening, Youuran opened the purse everyone had given her and found that most of the money they had given her was silver horn, silver weasel and the like. Only the purse my aunt gave me contained a pair of pure gold leaf earrings.

Youuran had told her mother, Mrs. Lin told her to put it away peacefully, so she put it away.

In the next few days, when they heard the news of Youuran's return, all the women in the village came over with various kinds of flags. Everyone was extremely curious about the big maids that came out of the Marquis Mansion.

Although Youuran felt a little impatient, she still controlled her temper and couldn't help but come out to greet everyone.
